Specimens Examined. — Laos: Paklay, one male (Vitalis 
de Salvaza. — Paris Mus.). — Formosa: Kaukau, two fe- 
males and fourteen males, September 1912 (H. Sauter Col- 
lector. — Deutsch. Ent. Inst., Berlin-Dahlem) . — Queens- 
land: Coen, Cape York, one male, May, 1932 (J. P. Dar- 
lington Collector. — M. C. Z.) ; Burnett River District 
(Brit. Mus.); Enongera near Brisbane (Brit. Mus.). — 
New South Wales: Sydney, one female (Brit. Mus.). 
I have also seen the holotype, very badly preserved, of 
Colax variegatus at the British Museum. It is labelled 
“Foo-chow, China.” That part of China has, like Formosa, 
a truly Oriental, tropical fauna. There is no evidence that 
A. javana enters the Palearctic Region, proper. 
Nycterimyia Lichtwardt, 1909 
Nycterimyia , originally established as a monotypic genus 
for Trichopsidea dohrni Wandolleck, now contains four 
Oriental, one Australian, one Papuan and three Ethiopian 
species.
